Did you know that in the year 2004-05, around 1,60,000 new vehicles were registered with the RTO, Pune?

You take your two-wheeler or four-wheeler on the roads, first you have to face the unpleasantly loud and penetrating traffic and pothole-ridden roads and then the headache of finding a parking space.

According to a calculation done by the PMC (Pune Municipal Corporation), nearly 200 acres of additional parking space will be required every year to meet the needs of growing number of vehicles.

Vehicles taking more space than human beings????

Yup, this is very true. There have indeed been studies on the area consumption of vehicles with respect to parking space and space consumption on roads..

A large portion of this problem can be addressed by improving public transport, which IMO is very bad in Pune.
